@fullfathomfive do you have an alternative you'd recommend? I've been on Duo for 3 years and have watched it "evolve"

@tayfonay Not at the moment. All of them seem to be falling prey to the siren song of AI.

I agree with you with "many seem to be falling prey to the siren song of it" — I'm sorry for your unpleasant experience I hope you'll have something beautiful to replace the disappointment. The world will even be more flooded with blinded mind and heart people so be safe.

@tayfonay @fullfathomfive I've been using Busuu for a few weeks. Seems OK. Certainly it gives much better explanations than Duo. I don't think it uses any AI garbage - it seems to be all human recordings so far (I'm doing the French course)

@carbsrule_en will give that a look, thanks for the recommendation!
Duolingo isn't getting any more money from me.
